“You’re a Sly One, Popovich” will be added to my holiday traditions

I’ve got to admit that I love the holiday television specials that were a part of a lot of family celebrations when I was a kid growing up.

I still get a lump in my throat when I hear Charlie Brown and his group sing “Hark the Herald Angels Sing” at the end of his Christmas special. Frosty the Snowman is the bomb. And it’s always fun to watch “A Christmas Story” four or five times on Christmas Day.

So even though Christmas is over, I still can’t get enough of “You’re A Sly One, Popovich” that the guys over at Pounding the Rock.com came up with in honor of the Spurs coach. And my 6-year-old son likes it even better — if that’s possible.

Listen to the song for a dedicated touch of creative holiday whimsy, especially at the end.

Here are a other few holiday touches from my blog brothers, with heavy emphasis to tonight’s game against the Lakers.
